Presence Of MANY SorrowIng Thousand


Presence Of MANY SOrrOwIBg Thousands.
Washington Dispatch: little before 12
o'clock tho distinguished guests began to
enter the chamber and took the seats which
| had been carefully assigned to them by
officers in charge. The Chinese lega
ton, which sent beautiful wreath, and
| the Japanese legation, who early paid
visit OF sympathy to Mrs. Logan, were not
present, nor was the British Minister West.
Among the notable persons seen upon the
floor outside the official pell bearers were:
Gen. Robert c. Sehneck, late minister to Eng
and Gen. JohnA. J. Creswell. Grants post
master general, who is the treasurer OF the
local Logan fund; Walker Blaine, who cam Q
as representative OF his father; Alan Arthur,
who came also to show the respect which
bis late father had for Gen. Logan,
and who was assigned as an honorary
| pail bearer to take the place OF Robert
| 7. Lincoln, who was detained; Col. Fred
| Grant, who much resembles now with his
full beard his father Gen. Williamson OF
Iowa, late commissioner OF the land office;
Gen. Rosecrans, who always admired Lo-
| gan as a soldier.
Ex-senator Conklin and Gen. Sherman
we're the first to enter. They were followed
by Senator Stanford and Chansey Andrews
| OF Ohio, the father OF the finance old ohm A.
| Logan, Jr., and by Col. Fred Grant, Ge1.
Black, Postmaster General Villas, Senator
Allison, Gen. Hawley and the rest. Short
ly before II o'clock the representatives OF
the administration entered. The president
was not with them, but Mr. Bayard took the
! post of honor as he now Is the
| next in lawful succession to the
presidency for the remnant OF Mr..
cleveland's term. He was dressed in
plain black, wore black gloves and looked
sedate and grave. Next to him sat Secre.
| tary Endicott, wearing a prince Albert
business coat, gray-mixed trousers and,
strange to say, red gloves. Next sat Sec
Rotary Whitney gloveless, whose face,
strangely enough, was wreathed in smiles,
and Attorney General Garland, man
whose face was the most seli-satisfed in all
the chamber, also gloveless.
THEN THE FAMILY ENTERED
/ from the door which leads from the vice
presidents room, which had been assigned
TO them. Mrs. Logan was dressed in the
heaviest black, her features wholly covered
by thick mourning, resting heavily
| upon the arm OF her son, greatly affect
I'd. Following her came James V. Logan,
| the generals youngest brother who
needed no introduction to the audi
snee, so much does he resemble
the dead hero. Mrs. Logan took a seat in
| front OF the vice presidents desk, and
| Manning Logan and James Logan sitting
on either side OF her. Next sat Mrs.
| Tucker, also in deepest mourning. Be-
side her was her husband, Maj. Tucker,
and next in deep black, but unveiled,
was Miss Andrews, the fancee OF Man
ming Logan, and beside her, and
resting awestruck upon her the
| little grandson, Logan Tucker. From the
outset Mrs. Logan was deeply affected, al
though evidently under the greatest SELF
| control, but when the eloquent passages
Of Parson- Newman's sermon we're delivered
in which the qualities OF the dead were
so graphically eulogized, she could scarce
restrain her emotion. At one minute past
IL O'Clock the venerable doorkeeper,
Bassett, and Deputy Sergeant at Arms
| Christie appeared at the southern door,
beneath the clock from which depended two
| long mourning draperies, TO announce the
funeral cortege which was arriving from
| the rotunda. The procession entered,
headed by the four clergymen-Par
Newman, Bishop Andrews Revs. Butler
and Tiffany; Rev. Newman reading as the
eortege advanced the funeral service OF the
Methodist church, II know that my re.
deemer liveth." The honorary pail bear
| srs were:
| Gen. Sherman, Hon. Roscoe Conkling,
/ Senator Stanford Postmaster General
Villas, Gen. Lueius Fairchild, Mr.. c. III. An
| drews, Col. Grant, Mr.. Mcmillan, NJ. III.
Leggett and Gen. John c. Black.
They wore sashes ofblack, With shoulder
knots OF black and white ribbons. They
formed into two lines as they came within
the bar, between which passed the pail
bearers of the Grand Army men bearing the
casket. The congressional committee wore
wide sashes of white. The honorary pail
bearers and the committee were conducted
| to seats on the left center. Senator Sher-
man and Speaker Carlisle occupied chairs
at the presidents desk and the clergy were
at the desk OF the secretaries. The solemn
services were begun by the reading OF the
Sinetieth Psalm by BishopAndrews. Prayer
WAS offered by DR.. Tiffany. During the
prayer the silence OF the great assemblage
was most impressive, broken as it was on
| ly by the uncomfortable sobs OF the wild
ow, who leaned as il for support toward
| her son in whose firm clasp her hand re-
manned throughout the ceremony. Some
selections from the funeral service OF the
| Episcopal church EXTRACTS from |. Corin-
thians) were read by Rev. DIR. Butler.
Then the funeral Grafton was delivered
| by Rev. Newman.
| The proceedings were closed with the
benedietion and then the presiding officer,
Senator Sherman, directed that theiune
l procession be reformed under the direction
I OF the sergeant-at-arms. This order was
| the signal for the withdraw wal OF Mrs. Logan
and the sorrowful members OF her family,
who rose and left the chamber by one OF
| the northern doors. The members of the
Loyal Legion also withdrew. The coffin
was then borne out, attended by the chiei
mourners. The supreme court judges next
| passed out and then the senators and rep.
resentatiyes, and in few minutes the sen.
ate chamber and galleries were empty.
The remains were then escorted to Rock
Greek cemetery for temporary interment,
| where services we're performed by the Grand
| Army OF the Republic.
